So this is part two
of our series, "The Most Important
Questions To Ask Yourself."
In part one, we used a powerful
question to give us clarity
on what exactly we want.
Now that we know what exactly we
want, the next step is how
can we achieve this in the most
efficient way?
And that's what we're going to talk
about today.
See it's really surprising but don't
ask how to achieve your goals.
See, after you have clarity about
what you want it's time to put
a plan in motion that makes a dream
a reality. However, the worst
quastion that you can ask at this
stage is "How can
I achieve my goals?" And here's
why.
Most people get stuck when it comes
to the "how?" Here's an example.
Let's say you decided that you want
to make a $100,000 with
trading.
When you ask, "How can I make
$100,000 with trading?"
You will see that there are
countless ways to achieve this goal.
Should your day trade?
Or swing trade?
Should you use fundamental analysis
or technical analysis?
Should you trade stocks or options
or forex or maybe futures?
And the list goes on and on.
As you can see, it's easy to
become overwhelmed when you look at
all these options.
And that's why it's not surprising
that many people get stuck at this
level.
So what's the solution?
What's a better question to ask?
A better question to ask yourself
is, "Who can
help me achieve my goals?" Think
about it this way, let's say
you want to get in shape.
Now you have three options.
Number one, you can read an article
about it or watch a video.
Number two, you could go to the gym
and start working out.
Or number three, you can hire
a personal trainer who shows
up at your door with a plan that's
tailored to you, and he's making
sure that you're exercising right
and making progress every
week. Now, which of these three
options has the highest chance of
success?
Obviously, it's option number
three.
Remember what we said in the
beginning. Once you have defined
what you want, it's now
time to put a plan in motion to
achieve your goal in the most
efficient way.
And the definition of efficient is
achieving maximum productivity
with minimum waste of time,
effort or expense.
So ask yourself the following
question, "What will happen
if I have a mentor, versus,
trying to figure it out myself?"
Most of the time you will quickly
see that having a mentor or a coach
can help you to achieve your goals
much quicker.
Yes, it's very likely that there
will be an investment, but think
about it this way.
The most valuable resource on the
planet is time
and not money.
Money always replenishes.
Money always comes back.
You know that already.
If you have a job right now,
money is being deposited into your
account once or maybe even twice a
month, and then it disappears
when you pay the bills.
But a few weeks later, money
is back in your account.
You see, money always
comes back, time doesn't.
Now, is this making sense thus far?
If it does, do me a favor and click
on like so that I know that you are
enjoying this video
and then let's move on.
So the next question now
is "How to find a
great mentor?" So
here's what I do.
When I choose a mentor I am asking
the following six questions.
Question number one, does my mentor
live the lifestyle that I
want to live?
After all, you don't want to
learn how to make money from a broke
person, right?
Now, question number two,
has my mentor done what I
want to do? Is he "living
proof?" You see, I personally
only choose mentors who have
walked the walk and already achieved
what I want to accomplish.
Question number three, has my mentor
been at the same level that
I am at?
As an example, if you want to learn
how to grow a $10,000 account
into a million dollars, you want
to make sure that your mentor also
started with $10,000
and not with two million dollars.
Because it's easy
to turn a two million dollar account
into a one million dollar account,
right? So question number four,
has my mentor helped others
to achieve the results that I
want? After all, I want to make sure
that my mentor has experience in
coaching and mentoring.
I don't want to be his first
student, also known as a
guinea pig, right?
OK. Question number five,
how much can I learn from this
person in every area of
my life, not only in business?
You see millionaires and
billionaires think differently.
And when I choose a mentor, I want
to get as much out of my
relationship with him or her as
possible.
I would want to hang out with this
person and pick his brain for
all areas of life, not
only the one that I want to be
mentored in.
Now, question number six, is he
a nice person?
What do I like about him?
Let me give you an example.
Recently I wanted to hire a mentor
to help me to do better YouTube
videos. So, I looked up a few people
who were successful on YouTube, and
one of these persons I stumbled
across is Dan Lok.
He has one million followers on
YouTube and his videos are being
watched by ten thousands of people.
But you see, as I started watching
his videos, I realized that I don't
resonate with his style at all.
He's cussing, he's intense
and he tells everybody to hustle
like a, like a drill sergeant, Jeez.
I wouldn't want to be mentored by
him and see that I found another
guy. His name is Sean Cannell.
He also has almost 1 million
subscribers but his approach is
different.
He believes it being nice,
friendly, funny, and he shows
how to create videos that help
others, instead of telling them
you're no good.
So I looked at his videos, I read
about his philosophy, and I decided
to hire him as a mentor.
After all, when you work with a
mentor, it is a long term
relationship that needs to be built
on trust and respect.
And I wouldn't be able to follow
what my mentor is saying if
he is a jerk.
Well, you get the idea, right?
So now that you've found a mentor
the question is what questions
should you ask your mentor?
You see, before hiring a mentor,
you should ask him or her a few
questions just to make absolutely
sure that he or she is the right
mentor for you.
And here's what I want to know.
Number one, why do you offer
mentorships?
Number two, why do you think that
I am a good fit?
Number three, how do you work with
those you mentor, and what type
of support am I able to up to have
with you?
Question number four, based on who
I am, what do you think
the next steps are over the
next three to six months?
Question number five, what
do you think will be the reason I
succeed?
Question number six, what do you
think are some of my weaknesses
that we need to work on?
Question number seven, what
are other questions I should be
asking right now?
See, the answers will give you peace
of mind that you chose the right
mentor.

like if this is making sense thus
far, and make sure to subscribe to

notified whenever I release and new
video.
Now, how much should
mentorship cost?
Well, for me, that's very
easy. I want to see a 10x
return on my investment.
So I can easily reverse
engineer how much I'm willing to
invest in mentorship.
Here's an example.
Let's say I want to learn how to
make one million dollars in the next
three years.
You remember, the three-year
timeframe from the previous video,
right? If not, make sure that you
watch the previous video, the first
one in this installment right now.
Anyhow. So if I want to make a
million dollars, I would find a
mentor using the criteria above,
and based on my 10x
acquirement, I would easily
pay that mentor a
$100,000 to make me help a
million dollars.
Anything less than a hundred
thousand would be a bargain,
and I would say, "Yes"
right away.
Now you might say, "Wow, that's a
lot of money!
I don't have money to hire a
mentor." Let me put it this way.
If you don't have money to hire a
mentor, then you need
a mentor now.
And in the next video, I will show
you how to hire a mentor when
you don't have money to
hire him. So stay tuned
